Trump To End Support For ISS According To Budget Proposal Draft

Ending funding would be detrimental to NASA, which uses the station to test new technology and train astronauts.

If the Deep Space Gateway program falls behind schedule, ending operations on the ISS prematurely could lead to a gap in US access to space.

An Obama-era action extended the NASA-ISS partnership until 2024, but players in the commercial space industry have pushed for funding for the ISS to be continued beyond that deadline, according to The Verge.

Canceling funding for the ISS would be devastating for NASA's global relationships, the space program and many scientists who rely on the orbiting laboratory to conduct experiments and testing in low gravity. Although only a draft, the final version will be released on February 12.

Funding for the International Space Station is crucial to maintaining our main presence in space, and this habitable artificial satellite located in low Earth orbit is an important part of scientific research and advancement of our knowledge of space.

To compensate for the lack of space shuttles, the plan was to get private companies involved.

The White House has said repeatedly that it intends to recommit the nation to space exploration, in partnership with the private sector and the global community. By 2025, the Presidents wants to cut off money for the space station.

The election of Cyril Ramaphosa as ANC president has not yet seen the removal of Jacob Zuma as ANC president. The ruling party stated that although plans are underway to remove Zuma, no date have been fixed yet.

Given those dramatic increases, it looked like Hall of Fame voters were starting to think differently about baseball's PED era. They still have a chance to make a surge next year, because the ballot will not be almost so crowded with strong candidates.

Nielsen said she did not believe Trump would have the authority to extend the March 5 deadline for the ending of the program. Dick Durbin of IL , the only Democrat at Thursday's meeting, said Trump had indeed said what he was reported to have said.

With Trump in the White House, it's hard for any story to stay at the top of the news cycle for more than a few days. As lawmakers bickered in the Capitol, protesters marched outside in a reprise of the women's march from a year ago.
